Broke on Valentine’s Day?
I’ve never really been the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day and there have been many times when I’ve gotten in trouble over it. I’ll spare you all the details, but I’ve had to accept the fact that it makes my wife happy when I do something special for her. But with the economy as shaky as it is, I thought I’d do a post on some affordable ways to keep your loved one happy on Valentine’s Day.
- Make her a card on the computer and print it out at work. Get the clipart off the internet.
- Build a photo album of the both of you and burn it to a CD.
- Take her to an all-you-can-eat buffet and eat off her plate.
- Find a gift on freecycle.org.
- Write a poem and text message it to her in pieces throughout the day.
- Cook dinner. Ramen Noodles, spaghetti sauce and sausage makes a good meal. And it can be cooked in the microwave.
- Buy her flowers and a card at the grocery store after work (5pm) or whenever they start the discount.
- Make her a mixed tape with songs she likes from the radio. Make sure to stop the tape before the DJ starts talking.
- Meet her/him at work and sing their favorite song for them in front of their co-workers.
- Break up and get back together after Valentine’s Day.
Now I can’t be responsible for anything that happens if you try any of these, so I wanted to leave you with some more links on things you could do on a budget. Tell the people you care about, how much you love them. Today can be more about the gifts and what you can do for someone. If you’re willing to make the effort, Valentine’s Day can be every day.
